SPECIFICATIONOIming part f Letters Patent N0. 681,114, dated 20, 1901'a Application filed April 16, 1901. Serial No. 56,103. (No model.)

T d/ZZ ivwm t may concern,.-

Beit known that I, JOSEPH DNNING, a citizen of United States, residing at Rutherford, in the county of Bergen, State of New Jersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Collars; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates 'to apparel, and more particularly to collars; and the object of the invention is to provide a cheap and simple y construction of a collar which will prevent displacement of the necktie and which in the case of a turn-over collar will prevent the Wyss points from rolling up.

In the drawings forming a portion of the specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar part-s in the several views, Figure lis a perspective View showing a turn-down collar embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing a standing collar embodying the invention.` p

Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to Fig. 1, it will be noted that the collar has the same shape as the ordinary turn-down collar excepting at the points of l u the turned-over portion, and at these points there are formed continuations in the shape of fingers 5 and 6. The fingers 5 and 6 are slightly tapered in the direction of their free ends, and the outer or lower edges thereof form continuations of the curvatures of the lower edge of the collar, and these fingers are of such length that when the collar isbutl tonedin place upon a shirtband the extreme portions of the fingers will overlap. The overlapping portions of the fingers 5 and 6 are provided with buttonholes, and in pracstanding collar, at the lower edges of which adjacent to the front are formed fingers 7 and 8, which overlap and are provided with buttonholes positioned to a line to receive the pin or button. A necktie worn with this collar may be passed down and under the fingers and will be held from displacement thereby.

It will be understood that modifications in the specific shape shown may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it will be noted that in each instance the fingers project and lie below the neckband of the collar.

What is claimed is- V I A standing collar having tabs provided with buttonholes to receive the front collar= button of a shirt and having portions extending below the tabs with their adjacent edges diverging downwardly, said downwardly-extending portions having lingers extending toward each other and formed to overlap, said lingers having buttonholes and adapted to lie over a necktie passed around the collar and between the diverging edges.

Intestimony whereof I hereunto sign my name, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on the 4th day of March, 1901.

JOSEPH DUNNING.
